Poetry in words and comics

Webcomic now online June 2015

June 22, 2015

Our webcomic is now online. It is illustrates the poem She’s waited half her life to write this which is from Clare Shaw’s second collection, Head On (Bloodaxe Books, 2012). You can find it in our comics section (or click here) and if you click on PLAY you can hear Clare reading the poem.

Several people have already asked me if they can buy a printed version of the comic. At the moment we only have a license to reprint it as a webcomic. However we are aiming to get a full length illustrated book published in the future. She’s waited half her life to write this will definitely be a chapter in this… so watch this space.

The poem is reprinted with permission of Bloodaxe Books, on behalf of the author. www.bloodaxebooks.com The web comic was funded by Arts Council, England.
